Fuel prices soar amid Iran war

The economic fallout from the US-Iran war is being felt worldwide as fuel prices reach multi-year highs.

Australia is bracing for a 'long recovery' to pre-war price levels, while Hong Kong is currently experiencing the world's most expensive petrol costs.

The International Energy Agency has warned nations against hoarding fuel, urging global cooperation to manage the supply shock.
